YouTube now has over one billion auto-captioned videos
Over a billion videos on YouTube are accessible to viewers who are hard of hearing or completely deaf, thanks to the video platform's automated captions. YouTube product manager Liat Kaver has announced the milestone number in a blog post, where she also talked about how hard it was growing up as a kid who's hard of hearing and having very little access to closed captions. After her team launched automated captions in 2009, they started concentrating on making it more available and improving its accuracy.
